Authorities in Clark County identify the three men involved in a Wednesday gun theft in La Center as being from Tacoma. William Burns, 19, Jawuan Swift, 20, and Andre Lamar, 21, were arrested Wednesday afternoon, after they were identified as the men who had broken into a home on Jenny Lane in La Center, trying to make off with a shotgun. All three were arrested after a short car and foot chase, and are being held in the Clark County Jail in multiple felony charges. At least one of the suspects is also reported to be connected to a pair of burglaries reported in Kalama on the 11th; two handguns were stolen from one home, and a window was shot out of another. Authorities haven’t identified which suspect is connected to those crimes. It’s also noted that Swift and Lamar have previous burglary convictions.
